In this episode of Awake But Not Free, we’re diving deep into one of the most frustrating parts of post-trauma recovery — when you’ve done everything right and you still feel anxious, tense, or stuck. You’ve left the chaos of your narcissistic relationship, survived the gaslighting and emotional confusion, and are doing the therapy, reading the books, and learning the tools… yet somehow, you still don’t feel free. I know that feeling — because I’ve lived it. And in this episode, I’m going to help you understand why your nervous system is still on high alert, what Jung and Adler can teach us about this cycle, and how to finally begin to experience peace, not just think about it.
We’ll talk about:
✨ Why your nervous system became addicted to control and prediction
✨ How anxiety is actually your body’s way of trying to keep you safe
✨ What Jung meant by “what we don’t integrate, we live out unconsciously” ✨ How Adler’s idea of significance explains why peace feels uncomfortable ✨ Three practical steps to start retraining your body for calm and safety
✨ Why boredom after chaos isn’t failure — it’s healing
✨ And how to use the courage that helped you survive to finally set yourself free _________________________________________________________________Ready to go Deeper? *Join the Courageous Living Digital Studio: https://janiceholland.thrivecart.com/the-courageous-living-no-bs-membership/
